RENDERING ASSISTANCE.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-The following
telegram was received at the treasury de-
partment to-day from the collector of Gus
toms at st. Augustine, Fla:
The principal part of the city has been
destroyed by fire. The county court house
has also burned. Can l offer assistance in
the way of rooms in the postoffice building
not occupied? Impossible to procure
rooms outside of the building. Records
exposed.
Secretary Fairchild telegraphed as fol-
lows in reply:
Render every assistance to the city Of
ficials in the way, of providing rooms in
the postoffice building.
THE DETAILS.
The alarm of fire was given at 3:15 a. m.
for large blaze in the laundry of the st.
Augustine hotel. The flames spread
rapidly to the kitchen and then to the main
part of the building. The fire department
consisted only of hook-and-ladder truck
and one steamer and it was impossible to
90 anything to save the hotel. The guests
numbering ninety and forty servants, with
the exception of one laundry woman,
Bridget Barry, escaped. The flames
then communicated to the Edwards house.
the Planters house and to the
Florida house annex. The next buildings
were the First National bank and one of
the oldest land marks in the city-the old
Spanish cathedral, just west of the St.
Augustine house. The roof caught fire
and soon destroyed all the historical relics.
The old chimes fell, too. their last song
being the alarm which summoned the
citizens to the scene of the confagration.
At this time the east wall of
the st. Augustine fell, carrying the
flames to the Sinclair block, in which
were stores and shops. All were COM
pletely destroyed. Returning to the west
side Of the street the flames reached the old
county court house on the north, which
was totally destroyed. The records, how
ever, were removed and saved. Several
residences and small buildings were also
destroyed. At 1880 the fire was under con-
troll. The losses will aggregate $25O,OOO.
The old cathedral was built in 1893 and
was still in use for the purpose OF worship

WINNIPEG. Apri]-There is much feel

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 8.-One Of the most
disastrous shipwrecks which ever occurred on
the Virginia coast happened at 2 o'clock this
morning near the Little Island lifs-saving sta
ton, fourteen miles south Of Cape Henry.
Not less than twenty, and probably more, lives
wore lost among them five life-saving men,
who in the discharge of their duty were
drowned. The morning was bitter cold and
blindidg snow storm prevailed, with the wind
blowing from the northeast. During lull in
the storm the life-saving patrol from the Little
Island ife-saying station sighted large ship
stranded GU the bar, about 800 yards from the
shore. When he saw the vessel he was going
to meet the patrol from Dam Neck station and
exchange shots, showing that both patrolmen
had been to the end Of their beat. The Dam
Meek patrol was but few yards distant when
the vessel was sighted, and both fired rockets
to notify the crew Of the stranded ship that she
had been seen. They hurried back to their re-
spective stations and gave the alarm. In a little
while both crews, with life-boats and appar-
atus, were abreast of the wreck, and the boom
OF mortar announced that line had been
ahot out to the Inflated vessel. The shot was
unsuccessful, and second was fired with like
result. After firing six unsuccessful shots the
life-saving men determined to brave the fear
ful sea and death which seemed certain. The
word OF command being given by Capt. Belan-
"a, OF Life Saving Station No.4, known az Lit
